In March, 1913, formal application was made to the Board of Estimate 

 and Apportionment for an issue of corporate stock in the sum of $2,000 

 to defray the cost of plans for a new museum building, to be located upon 

 the plot bounded by Stuyvesant Place, Jay Street, Wall Street and Ham- 

 ilton Avenue, now owned by the city. This application is still pending. 



The following changes in the museum staff were made during the year: 



On account of illness Mr. D. M. Van Name, museum guard, was granted 

 indefinite leave of absence without pay, from August i, 1912, and Mr. 

 George Elliott was appointed to serve ad interim. At the close of the 

 year, Mr. D. M. Van Name being still unable to return to the museum, he 

 was made an honorary associate of the museum in recognition of his 

 faithful services, and Mr. Elliott's appointment was made permanent from 

 January i. On the same date Mr. George W. Pero was appointed second 

 museum guard, the new position having been created in the 1913 budget. 

 A readjustment of the hours of service of the operative staff was then 

 effected, looking to greater efficiency. On December 7, 1912, Mr. Alanson 

 Skinner was appointed honorary curator of the department of anthro- 

 pology and archeology. 



The use of the assembly hall in the museum for public meetings of other 

 civic organizations has been permitted by the Board under certain restric-

 Teachers' Club and of the Richmond branch of the New York City Visit- 

 ing Committee are held here. The Board also granted permission to the 

 First St. George Troop of Boy Scouts, of which the curator-in-chief is 

 scoutmaster, to meet in this room. On May 24, 1912, a meeting was held 

 for the organization of the Richmond branch of the Agricultural Educa- 

 tion Association, and on May 13, 1913, one for the organization of a local 

 branch of the Consumers' League. 



On June 8, 1912, the members of the American Association of Museums, 

 which had just concluded its annual convention in New York City, were 

 entertained by the Association. About thirty delegates were taken on a
